let me go to kelly o'donnell because she's seen romney be a romney advocate and sometimes a romney critic wanting more -- frankly, romney wanted more people defending his plan. is that fair to say? >> absolutely. and i think part of what you hear paul ryan talk about when he pitches for mitt romney is that the specifics will matter and that the ceo mind set of mitt romney, the way he has approached his work as governor or when he was serving the olympics in 2002 to come in and work on that and turn it around is the sort of turn around mind set, look at the numbers, don't ignore the fact that there is a fiscal cliff. that's part of what paul ryan talks about and very passionately on the stump, to get people to not look away from the fiscal dangers that are looming for the country. he walks people through it in a very clear way and talks about the risks and the choices and he does it in an impassioned way but not in an exceedingly partisan way. by that i mean he's more of the processor tone than someone who is railing against the other party in trying to get people to understand the issues.

what is romney going to do? and what they saw across the ideological spectrum today what they saw was december preparation. and that is a dangerous place to be. because when the media filter starts to refract everything they do are they being desperate? are they off their strategy? are they losing their heads? you are in a downward spiral that can be very damaging to you on every possible level, in terms of fund raising, in terms of your standing with voters, with the press. this is a very delicate time for romney. he made a situation in the world. in this election much worse than when he started out today. >> and joy, the bipartisan criticism came from what he had to say, it's being called a strikeout. and when you see a batter strikeout a couple of types in a row, the third times it becomes the expectation this is the guy who strikes out. >> i elections are a comparison. i think romney has gone into this thing from the beginning thinking this is just a referendum on barack obama. so if i just keep shining the

but all you have to do is say, romney's company, romney's companies, romney's funds, engaged in outsourcing, and you're there. you can't deny that. so in some ways, this has become a bit of an absurd argument, with him trying to determine or create this bright line, which doesn't really exist, and cal's reporting, my reporting on the piece out today even, keeps chipping away at that story. and as you mentioned earlier, back in '98, before any of this was an issue, he was already investing in a chinese company. i told this story last week, that was, you know, that was basically profiting on u.s. companies sending manufacturing and jobs to china. so, if you take a step back and look at the whole big picture here, he's really up the creek. i mean, there's no other way to put it. and he's trying to escape. and that's why he's having a hard time. and that's why we're probably not going to get the tax records or anything else that may give us any insight into romney world, when it comes to all those secret finances. >> let's listen to president obama making his case against mitt romney on this, o

romney raised taxes, created romney care, appointed liberal judges. then ran to the left of teddy kennedy in 1994. this is not a conservative republican. he is not going to win the nomination. then became a moderate to run for governor. i think what's really striking about last night is that three out of four republicans once again repudiated mitt romney. then with romney care, for example, included state-funded abortions. it's pretty clear. he's not truthful about his record in massachusetts and his background. he's not truthful about his pac which has his staff running it. >> i have to ask you, are you calling mitt romney a liar? >> yes. >> you're calling mitt romney a liar? >> well, you seem shocked by it. yes. i mean, what else can you say? >> most of that was from the past 24 hours. gingrich is just warming up. if he can't get the nomination, he wants to make sure mitt romney, he ain't going to get it either. next weekend a group of conservative power brokers, i really love this story, including james dobson, tony perkins and gary bower are going
